Or construct a rectangle using the points as opposite corners. You may even be able to select /three/ points and construct a circle that includes them. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers..for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.Greeley -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
